Short Vacation

The wife and I went back to the States for our annual medical checkups. They turned out well, for which we thank God. But then the good part! We drove out to South Dakota to my home town of Glenham to do a little pheasant hunting. Marlene had given me a new shotgun, Browning Gold Hunter - 12 gauge, for Father's Day which I hadn't seen yet. It seemed to work real well. But the best part was that our two sons and their families joined us for the hunt too. What a blast. Even my oldest grandson, Jacob, got his share of birds. Now we're back in Puerto Rico for the rest of this week before heading back home to Mexico.

Mexico City Alameda

This is one of my favorite plazas in all of Mexico. It is also near the small hotel where we stay when we have to be in Mexico City. A city of 25 million people (estimates vary, some are higher), you don't often see horses and riders or horse-drawn carts like you do in many smaller towns in Mexico. These two are special mounted policemen.
